Hey, look over there....huh, made you look.

I got my typing box up and running for the meantime. We'll see how long it lasts. I started a post earlier just to have the fucking machine shut down on me again. Stupid technology.

Next on my list of things to repair: my house's water heater. As much as I enjoy mobile showering, it makes me feel kinda homeless. You know, just showing up at somebody's home and being all like "Hey, what's up. Is CSI on? Rad. Hey...I'm gonna grab a coke and shower...don't mind me."

Much praise to my friends who have been supporting my habit during this period of unprecedented laziness...wait...who am I kidding? My laziness has plenty of examples to look to for guidance.

In other news, I found myself in a self-realized comical situation yesterday at the H.E.B....standing in the "10 items or less" checkout line with a bag of cat food and a tray of single-serving sushi (prepared fresh everyday!).

I was on the look-out for the camera taping for Fox's new reality show "The World's Singlest Slacker"...is that Morrissey I hear playing in the opening credits?

"....standing in the "10 items or less" checkout line with a bag of cat food and a tray of single-serving sushi"

i can see you know, Mel-a-rific grin, catfood in one arm, sushi in the other...

you sound like me...i bought milk and beer today. and i got carded...that ALWAYS makes me smile. some southern sassy belle in line behind me said, "that makes ya feel good, don'it?" I had to concur.

all in all it was a wacky trip to the supermarket...on my way in, i saw an SUV back into a convertible. on my way out, i almost got run over by another SUV, this time driven by some guy who had a strong "herbal" smell wafting behind him. Sheesh. i'm totally rambling...i'm gonna go now.

At least you and your cat share a love of fish. It's nice when pets and owners can join together and bond. And there are things more loserly than standing in line with cat and people food. At least you are not a checker in Wal-mart where the young guys come into the 10 items or less line with a box of condoms and a hurried, frantic look. Or how about the older men who come in for KY and fruit? Ah yes, images that are scorched into my brain.
LOVE!

Ahh...grocery store funness.

A friend of mine and I used to get a big kick out of messing with Randall's consumer profile data.

For three months everyday we'd go into Randall's and purchase exactly an eighteen pack of Milwaukee’s Best and one other item using his "Remarkable Card"...

One time it was green food dye, another time it was a head of lettuce, and then a box of tampons...you get the picture.

Although we never got to see the marketing interns face as the tried to sort out the data, the idea of it in our heads was enough to keep us going and, as a parting gift, gave us something to talk about while downing the eighteen of The Beast.
